Back to the Years When My Father Was in School - Chapter 49
The college entrance examination was just around the corner, and in the last few days of home repairs, Lu Yan stayed at the door of Lu Zhen’s room all day long, observing secretly like a cat, staring at him reviewing his homework.
For any other college entrance examination students, you can have a good rest these three days, but Lu Yan knows her father too much. If he really lets him throw away his textbooks and let himself go these days, maybe he can immediately enter the state of summer vacation and completely forget the three. He still has a college entrance examination to take in the day after day.
“Dad, just tell me, can you get into college with your current grades?”
Lu Zhen leaned on the soft computer chair, stretched out a long waist, and said leisurely: “What you are asking… the university must be admitted. If you are lucky, you can get to Tsinghua and Peking University. “
“Come on, you, pay back Tsinghua University, Peking University, if you can touch a thread, I have to go to the temple and offer incense to reciprocate.”
Lu Zhen patted the back of Lu Yan’s head, and said dissatisfiedly: “I’m in the first 50 in the second-model exam of Lao Tzu, what do you say!”
Lu Yan said weakly, “Just that time…”
When Lu Zhen took the second model test, he was admitted to the top fifty of his grade for an unprecedented time. Everyone felt unbelievable.
Although a lot of dark horse students have indeed emerged since the third year of high school, rushing to the top of the rankings, but the tail of a crane like Lu Zhen can also rush in, which is a bit too magical.
Just when everyone thought that Lu Zhen was about to completely rise up and stand up, he was beaten back to his original form again in the three-mode test, and he was rolled back to the 100th grade.
In the next few intensive simulation tests, Lu Zhen’s performance has always been in such a “bungee jumping” state, with highs and lows, and his level of performance fluctuates.
Lu Yan attributed this phenomenon to: luck.
So if Lu Zhen can be admitted to a key university, he really has to worship Manjushri.
“In the past four days, you can review your homework.” Lu Yan patted him on the shoulder: “Jian Yao’s mom’s grades have always been good. You can always keep it in the first 30 grades. You can’t lag behind to my mom.”
Speaking of Jian Yao, Lu Zhen immediately came to his mind and said confidently: “It’s completely okay. The last time she and I were only missing…20.”
Lu Yan said weakly, “The farthest time between you and her was two hundred.”
Lu Zhen stretched out her sturdy arms and wrapped her around Lu Yan’s neck, pulling her over and shackling her under her armpit, threatening: “Little girl, there are some things, don’t tell me if you see it through, you don’t understand.”
“let me go!”
“Lao Tzu is teaching you the principles of life.”
“Grandpa, Lu Zhen is bullying people again!” Lu Yan shouted.
The nurse girl mad demon Lu Jian moved aggressively into the room, picked up the slippers on her feet and smashed Lu Zhen on the back: “In addition to bullying your sister, what else would you do!”
Lu Zhen yelled “Wow” and let go of Lu Yan. Lu Yan hurriedly ran behind Lu Jian and hid, stunned Lu Zhen and stuck out his tongue.
Lu Zhen was not reconciled, and murmured in a low voice.
OK… There are a lot of adults who are fathers, so I don’t care about you.
That night, Lu Yanmao hesitated for a long time in the soft wool blanket, and finally sent a text message to Shen Kuo, asking him about the situation.
She has been afraid to contact him for fear of disturbing his review.
On weekdays, if Lu Yan never messaged him, he would definitely send text messages or call.
It’s been more than a day, and Shen Kuo hasn’t heard from him, and Lu Yan can’t help but feel frustrated.
When the text message was late at night, he didn’t reply, so he called him, and the voice prompt the other party to indicate that it was turned off.
Lu Yan suddenly turned up from the bed, and all kinds of common plots of novels and TV series appeared in his mind. Unexpected situations such as car accidents, it is better to leave without saying goodbye…
She sat cross-legged on the edge of the bed, holding her phone trembling tightly, forcing herself to calm down.
She comforted herself that it was already eleven o’clock in the evening, and she turned off and went to bed, which was normal.
No, it’s not right. Shen Kuo never shuts down when he sleeps. This is his habit.
After being together, Shen Kuo never shut down, he always let Lu Yan contact him as soon as possible, even text messages, except for bathing, the rest of the time is seconds.
This is abnormal.
Lu Yan felt as though she had been poured with cold water in her heart, and she started to become frightened. The college entrance examination is still two days away. At this time, Shen Kuo must not have an accident!
She stood up, paced the room, and walked around anxiously. Finally, she was still uneasy and decided to go to Shen Kuo’s house overnight to see the situation.
Lu Yan stalked by the door, poking her head outside the house like a thief.
Lu Jian went to bed early because he was going to attend an important forum summit tomorrow, and the lights outside the house were all turned off. Only the cracks in the door of Lu Zhen’s room were still shining.
He is still reading.
In fact, to talk about hard work, Lu Zhen has worked hard over the past year. Although he complained and complained, he really made up his mind to get good grades in the exam.
Not only to prove herself to Lu Jian, but also to become better, so that Jian Yao can value herself.
Lu Yan gently closed the door, squeezed her hands and walked down the stairs to the hallway.
Feeling the darkness, she deliberately found a pair of shoes from the cabinet that she hadn’t worn for a long time and put on them. At the same time, she hid her slippers in the shoe cabinet, pretending that she was still at home.
She knew this skill in her last life. At that time, Lu Yan often sneaked out to play at night, and didn’t go home until early in the morning. She had never been caught by her stupid dad once.
Lu Yan closed the door gently, ran to the backyard and pushed her bicycle, and hurried toward Shen Kuo’s house after leaving the house.
At the moment the market is almost closed, but there are a lot of pedestrians on the street, and the night market food stalls on the street are still lively.
Lu Yan rode a bicycle, turning around and turning into the alley where Shen Kuo’s house was.
The bicycle tires rubbed against the uneven stone road, making a rattling sound, which was very clear in the quiet little room.
Various lights were on in the alley, but the lights in Shen Kuo’s house were off, and the windows were dark.
Lu Yan hurriedly pressed the brakes, jumped down and parked the car in the corner, walked to the window and looked inward.
There seems to be no one in the room.
At this time, a dilapidated wooden door on the opposite side opened, and a woman holding a child went out to pour water. She saw Lu Yan standing sneaky by the eaves of the wall and asked, “Hey, who are you looking for?”
Lu Yan quickly responded, “I’m looking for Shen Kuo, is he not there?”
While coaxing the baby in her arms, the woman said: “His dad couldn’t breathe last night and was rushed to the hospital. He should still be in the hospital right now. I haven’t seen anyone come back all day.”
“Ah, is Uncle Shen serious?”
The woman sighed, “Looking at Shen Kuo taking his dad out by heart, it was the person who had half-life let the little devil go away. At this moment, maybe…”
Lu Yan’s heart had been cold for a while, and she stood there for a long while, her hands and feet were numb and unconscious.
After the woman had finished speaking, she turned around and went into the room, muttering, “I have been sick for so many years, but this is going to be a good thing. It is a drag on the child… It’s a crime.”
Lu Yan rode a bicycle, slantingly in a small alley, and came to the street.
In the past few days, the college entrance examination is always going to cool down. There are a few rainy stars in the sky, and the streets are wet, reflecting the gleam of street lights.
Lu Yan forced herself to calm down, and comforted herself that it must be okay, Dad Shen is a good-natured person, and nothing will happen.
I heard Shen Kuo say that his father was shy in front of strangers, and he was a little unwilling to let go, but he was actually quite cheerful and optimistic, and he always liked to tell a few humorous sneer jokes from time to time.
Shen Kuo is dull, and his dad often makes his mouth smile.
If it weren’t for such an optimist, it would be difficult for anyone to stick to it after so many years of illness.
…
Lu Yan can also tell from Shen Kuo’s daily descriptions in a few words that Shen Kuo has a deep affection for his father and he doesn’t often laugh, but when he talks about his father, his thin lips always rise slightly.
Lu Yan stopped at the street and thought for a few minutes, then rode in the car and drove quickly towards the Municipal People’s Hospital.
Generally speaking, such serious illnesses are sent to the best public hospital in Beicheng-the City People’s Hospital, and he must be there.
Lu Yan galloped all the way and rushed to the Municipal People’s Hospital in just fifteen minutes. After asking for a long time in the outpatient department, she didn’t know the name of Dad Shen, so the information desk could not give a specific inpatient room number.
Lu Yan was so anxious that her tears were about to fall. At this moment, she saw a tall and thin figure walking by the payment window, it was Shen Kuo.
He was holding the payment receipt in his hand, and was looking down and checking it carefully. A few strands of bangs blocked his dark eyes…
Under the light, his face was sickly pale and tired.
“Shen Kuo!”
Hearing the familiar voice, Shen Kuo’s figure paused slightly and raised his head.
The white flag lamp reflected on his pale face, he looked extremely bad-spirited and sullen, his jaw was covered with cyan stubble, and his eyes were bloodshot.
The moment he saw Lu Yan, a gleam of light flashed across his eyes.
Lu Yan hurriedly ran over, hesitated several times, and wanted to ask about his father Shen’s situation, but he didn’t dare to ask.
Shen Kuo saw her worry and said bluntly: “In the intensive care unit, it is not out of danger for the time being.”
Although she was not out of danger, Lu Yan breathed a sigh of relief. The wind blew her eyes with the light rain on the way she had just come, and she couldn’t hold back tears several times.
She is so afraid that Dad Shen will have an accident…
Shen Kuo looked up at the clock hanging in the lobby of the outpatient department. It was almost twelve o’clock now.
“It’s too late.” His voice was slightly hoarse: “You come here…”
Lu Yan quickly explained: “You called you, but you didn’t answer it, so the college entrance examination is about to go. I’m a little worried…”
Shen Kuo took the phone out of his bag and looked at it, and explained, “There is no battery this morning.”
He stayed here all night last night.
“Can I go see Uncle?” Lu Yan asked.
Shen Kuo was silent, nodded, and led her to the inpatient building.
Lu Yan leaned against Shen Kuo, sometimes looking up at his face, tentatively stretched out her hand, and firmly held his finger.
Shen Kuo could feel the power conveyed by the soft palm of the little girl.
Warm and caring.
The intensive care unit is on the third floor of the inpatient department. There are relatively few patients on this floor, so it is very quiet. The ceiling lights in the corridor are not very bright, giving the entire aisle cage a layer of listless yellow light.
Through the window of the ward, I could see that there was a ventilator hanging on Dad Shen’s nose. Lu Yan didn’t understand the heart rate monitor, but the heart rate displayed on it was very weak, lower than the normal person’s index.
“Deeply unconscious.” Shen Kuo leaned against the wall and explained weakly: “I was sent here for first aid last night. I also used an electric shock device. I managed to get a life back, but it was not out of danger.”
Lu Yan knew that the doctor would only use electric shocks when the heartbeat stopped when he was dying.
Listening to Shen Kuo’s few sentences, Lu Yan could also imagine how dangerous the situation was at that time.
In the corridor, family members lay on the side chairs to sleep, so they didn’t say much, and went to the terrace at the end of the corridor.
The rain stopped, the cool breeze floated softly, and the leaves rustled.
The boring summer was dispelled a lot, and for the college entrance examination students, it was really fortunate.
Shen Kuo leaned against the guardrail and took out the cigarette and lighter from his chest pocket. The lighter was the one Lu Yan gave him. He has been using it and loves it.
Shen Kuo would not put things he likes on the shelf, he would take it with him and use it often.
The cigarette lighter’s hand was shaking, and it didn’t ignite several times, and the lighter fell on the ground with a “clang” sound.
His expression was very calm, but Lu Yan could see that he was already in a mess.
He almost lost his father last night.
In this world, people can have nothing, but they can’t live without their parents.
Lu Yan knelt down, picked up the lighter on the ground, inadvertently scratched his eyes with the corner of his clothes, then got up, tiptoe to him and set the light on.
Shen Kuo hesitated for a moment, then caught fire and burned the cigarette.
In the past, he would not smoke in front of her because Lu Yan said that he did not like to smell second-hand smoke and would not ask him to smoke.
This time she offered to light him a cigarette.
Shen Kuo turned his back and walked a little further. After only two puffs, the cigarette **** was pressed out.
“I will send you back.”
Lu Yan looked at Shen Kuo’s tired face with a gloomy color. It was expected that he hadn’t slept all night last night. If he wants to guard Father Shen out of danger tonight, he will definitely not sleep either.
“Shen Kuo, I will stay tonight and guard for you. Go and sleep.”
“Need not.”
Shen Kuo decisively rejected Lu Yan’s proposal, carrying her by the collar, and involuntarily carrying her downstairs.
“Shen Kuo.” She stretched the ending and said eagerly: “Shen Kuo is going to take the college entrance examination the day after tomorrow. You can’t stay up all day!”
“It’s not important.” He said calmly.
Compared with his father’s life, the college entrance examination is really not important.
“I’ll be guarding for you these few days, you go to sleep.” Lu Yan said eagerly: “I love staying up all night, it’s okay at all, OK, Shen Kuo.”
In the end, she hugged Shen Kuo’s arm, almost crying and begging: “It’s not important to stay up late to study every day and prepare for three years. Would you like to go to bed for a while.”
The little girl just kept wiping her tears and didn’t want to show uncomfortable in front of him. At this moment, she finally couldn’t pretend, her eyes were wet, and her voice trembled: “I will definitely help you guard Dad Shen, please You, okay.”
Shen Kuo’s heart was wet with her tears, and the string that had been stretched for such a long time finally became a little uncomfortable.
He squeezed the girl into his arms hard, pressed her shoulder blade with one hand, and held her tightly, as if he was about to press her into his body.
She patted him lightly, as if soothing, and said softly: “It’s okay, you go to bed for a while, even for a short while.”
Shen Kuo finally replied: “Okay.”
Lu Yan pulled Shen Kuo back into the corridor. Shen Kuo was not relieved. He didn’t go to sleep in the small bed in the family’s lounge.
Lu Yan hurriedly sat down, patted her leg, and said, “Then you can pillow me.”
He looked down and looked at the girl’s legs in jeans, straight and slender.
He seemed to be a little embarrassed, and mumbled: “No need.”
“How can I sleep well while sitting?” The little girl couldn’t help but took Shen Kuo’s hand and grabbed him over: “Lie down.”
The boy’s expression seemed a little bit shy. After hesitating for a moment, he finally obeyed her. He lay down and put her legs on the back of his head.
He opened his eyes and stared at her face with dark eyes.
She has a pair of peach-eyed eyes that are breathless and breathtaking.
It’s just that she is still young at the moment, her eyes are pure. If the future matures, with such a pair of charming beautiful eyes, I don’t know how beautiful it is.
Lu Yan was a little embarrassed by him, and she stretched out her hand to cover his eyes: “Go to sleep.”
He closed his eyes obediently, and his long eyelashes swept her soft palm.
After closing his eyes, tiredness swept across the sky like a tide, and Shen Kuo immediately fell into a deep sleep.
Half-dreaming and half-awake, it seems that I can feel the softness with a slight cool touch, falling on the corners of the lips.
His thin dry lips moved.
Did not wake up.
